I endured a lot yesterday.

But having my body and outfit photoshopped by a media outlet was not on my bingo card.

Note the enlarged boobs and outfit to be made more revealing.

Can’t imagine this happening to a male MP.

An Australian television news channel apologized “unreservedly” Tuesday for altering a photo of a state lawmaker, who complained it gave her “enlarged boobs” and a more revealing dress.

Georgie Purcell, an upper house member of the Victorian state parliament, posted side-by-side the original photo and the version edited by 9News Melbourne, part of Nine Network Australia.

In the edited image, which was broadcast on Monday evening, her white sleeveless dress has been transformed into a halter top and skirt, exposing her midriff.

[They didn’t really apologize unreservedly, though. They blamed their Adobe software for the, um, *enhancements* — and that prompted a quick retort from Adobe. Their software does NOT, as it turns out, perform auto-booblifting or auto-midriff-exposing. D’oh! — Ed]
